(CNN) – When the Congress convenes to discuss the results of the 2004 presidential election, Senator Barbara Boxer will take part in the Senate to oppose President George W. Bush’s election victory in Ohio over Democrat John Kerry. It is obligatory for the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate to vote by a second vote in a motion on which the votes of the Electoral College of a State shall be taken.
It’s the same scenario that could happen next to President Donald Trump. The mandate has been publicly announced to its parties in Congress to oppose the election of President-elect Joe Biden. Specifically in the battlefield states that will expand the vote on correo in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
A group of Republicans from the Chamber of Representatives is preparing to object, and it is necessary for a senator that they are obliged to vote in the chambers for this purpose. If well the leader of the Senate in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, was in private with the Republicans of the Senate to maintain allegiance, Various senators refused to separate the participation, and the new Republican Senator elect Tommy Tuberville, of Alabama, died abierta la posibilidad de que se una al esfuerzo.
The Democrats and including some Republicans advocated against an impugnation. A Pesar del precedente sentado van Boxer. In an interview with CNN, she says that her constituencies are totally different this year, when Trump and his allies may retire as a result of a national election that unites the Democratic entourage of Ohio, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, to open derrota de Kerry.
“Our intention is not to restore the election in any way.” “Our intention is to focus on the oppression of voters in Ohio,” said the California Democrat. She said his objection was at the moment of the mayor’s organ in the Senate. “I’m confused about the vote, of which the presidency is blowing the whistle on Donald Trump. Ni siquiera es una comparión cercana ».
Los votos del Colegio elections
The Congress will consider the votes of the Electoral College in a session convened on January 6, which represents Trump’s last opportunity to cancel the election result that Biden lost. In fact, Trump’s Republican ally has practically no chance of revealing the result, only to be able to recall Biden’s inevitable assertion as the electoral officer in the Electoral College and as the next president.
It has not been suggested that Trump — who has defied conspiracy theories to falsely assert that the elections are successful — is pressuring the Congress to discuss the results of the next month. Just ahead of Christmas, Trump received in the White House the Republicans from the House of Representatives that he was capturing the effort to object to the results of the Electoral College. This group captures Republican Rep. Mo Brooks, Alabama.
“I believe that we have many senators, and the question is not, are they”, Brooks said last week.
Brooks says Republicans are preparing to oppose Biden’s victory in almost six states, which is obligated to have a dozen debates in the Chamber and Senate, converting Biden’s victories into a political circle.
Republican Senator enters the open door to object to the Electoral College
To force a vote to impose the election results of a state, a senator must unite, in writing, a member of Congress to object to the results. McConnell, who acknowledged Biden’s victory, warned at his conference that he was not a Republican candidate for the Chamber of Deputies to oblige the Senate Republican Conference to hold a toxic political vote on Trump’s no.
Pero Tuberville, who went to the Secretary of Justice for Trump, Jeff Sessions, in the Republican primary of Alabama, opened the last week last week to object to the results of the Electoral College. Tuberville’s comments to Trump have tweeted various stories about the new Alabama senator who could challenge McConnell and talk to him over the course of the week.
“Anoche had an affair with a large cavalryman, Tommy Tuberville, and he was very emotional,” Trump said to Rudy Giuliani during a letter broadcast on Giuliani’s WABC radio program on December 20.
“Dijo: ‘I hate the most popular politician in the United States,'” Trump said. “He’s awesome.”
In Tuberville, the other senator sums up the objections of the Chamber, the chambers are separated and debate the objection of each during the hours before the vote. Debating that the Democrats control the Chamber, the effort effectively has certainty of exit. Including a Senate controlled by Republicans, Various Republicans said they had no generalized fraud.
“In the Senate fracasaría rpidamente”, said last week the Senator of Dakota del Sur, John Thune, the second Republican of the Senado. “Simply put, it makes much sense to do everything that happens when you know what the final result will be.”
Previous objections to the Collegium of Commerce were rejected without the response of the Senate
The joint session to count the votes of the Electoral College on January 6 will be chaired by Vice President Mike Pence. He assisted in the meeting of the moon, in the White House, with Trump and the Republicans of the Chamber, planting questions about how to manage to be in the uncomfortable position of affirming Biden’s victory over his presidential formula.
It’s the same position that ex – Vice President Al Gore’s in 2001 lied about at least one of Bush’s exceptions, which is reduced to a Florida dispute. During that vote, Democrats in the House of Representatives protested against the Florida result, but no senator voted and the vote was rejected.
This is also why it was sued in 2017, when a group of Democrats from the Chamber of Deputies opposes Trump’s victory in various states, citing Russia’s electoral interference and problems with voter turnout. Without embarrassment, no senator unites with the members of the Chamber and Biden, who presides over the session in his Senate presidency, surrenders and approves the objections, certifying Trump as the governor.
“We are trying to focus attention on the detainees [del presidente ruso, Vladimir] “Poetin for Socavar and to sabotage the state elections”, said Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin, one of the Democrats who planted a vote in the Senate in 2017. “Certainly there is much more evidence of Vladimir Putin’s cybercrime against the NAC Committee the camp of [Hillary] Clinton and the supporters of manipulating public opinion in the run-up to the social speeches that are causing any fraud or corruption in the 2020 elections.
The Republican caucuses of the House of Representatives cited previous Democratic objections, including the Boxer and Democrats’ 2017 objections, to justify Biden’s victory next month.
“If a Republican has this, clearly he is not the first to do so,” said the leader of the House of Representatives, Steve Scalise, last week, who had not reconciled with Biden as president-elect. “All Republican presidents for the last three terms have been elected by the Democrats.”
“The strangely wanted people”
In 2005, Boxer joined forces with Tubbs Jones to protest for Bush’s victory in Ohio, which was the decisive stage in Bush’s 2004 election victory over Kerry.
Since the Election of Conteo Electoral in 1887 was approved, only the second time that a protest was obliged to the chambers to vote to accept the result of the Electoral College of a state, according to the Congressional Investigation Service. The first was by a solo “infiltrator” electors from Carolina del Norte who voted in 1969 by George Wallace in the wake of Richard Nixon. This request was also taken by cameras.
Boxer said Tubbs Jones, who pleaded guilty in 2008, agreed to the 2005 protest against the problems he faced with the Ohio vote, including hours of ballot papers, red ballot machines and ballot boxes. provisional in the black communities of the state.
“This objection does not hold in its hope that it will include the indication of the cancellation of President’s victory,” Tubbs Jones said in the plenary session as the two chambers were separated for debate. “But it is an opportunity necessary, opportunistic and appropriate to revise and remedy the most precarious process of our democracy.”
In the Senate, Boxer’s Democrat partners are working to address the issue of voter oppression. However, when the moment to vote is taken, only Boxer will issue a vote to support the protest. Perdió 74-1.
In the Chamber, the vote was 267-31 in opposition to the Ohio vote.
“It’s one of my moments with the mayor’s organ, even though it’s only,” Boxer told CNN. “Fui muy impopular ese día en el Senado, la gente quería estrangularme”.
In recent weeks, he has planted the objection of the Electoral College, Boxer and Tubbs Jones united in the entourage of Senator Hillary Clinton to present a new legislation on the right to vote, although no advance in the Senate controlled by Republicans.
“By the way, it’s creepy that we’ve profoundly because of it, the things that are more powerful with the suppression of voters,” Boxer said. “We hope that our adoption of this position will establish the bases for the legislation, but we will not be talking to the Republican Senate. Simply no pudimos sacarlo a la luz ».
